[mapserver-users] MS 6.0 beta4, is image/jpeg output OK?

[Jeff McKenna]

Jukka,

You indeed found a good one: image/jpeg output for all 6.0 betas in MS4W 
was broken.  In fact the underlying GD library was pointing to a an old 
non-existent libjpeg version, jpeg-6b, and recent MS4W is built against 
jpeg-8b (this is what the error message was really trying to tell us: 
"Wrong JPEG library version: you are calling JPEG-6 through GD but 
MapServer expects to find JPEG-8").  So here is a patch, which contains 
a rebuilt GD library that points to an upgraded JPEG-8c library: 
http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/mapserver_ms4w-6.0.0-beta6-patch.zip

I thank you very much for discovering this problem.  I guess this is why 
we have a 'beta' stage.

(the MS4W ticket is http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2313)

Thanks again for this feedback!

happy friday to all.

-jeff
